Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.

Biologie     Glossaire (ex. epibenthic)

A short-lived species. Adults are found in swamps, lagoons, springs and associated wetlands and other water bodies with little current and plenty of vegetation (Ref. 30578). They feed mainly on crustaceans and insect larvae (Ref. 59043). Threatened due to habitat destruction, water abstraction, pollution (Ref. 26100) and competition with the introduced Gambusia holbrooki (Ref. 59043). The first toothcarp in the German aquarium trade. Not a seasonal killifish. Difficult to maintain in aquarium (Ref. 27139).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Réf. 82804):  PD50 = 0.7500   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01122 (0.00514 - 0.02450), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Niveau trophique (Réf. 69278):  3.5   ±0.46 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 1.5 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2 growth studies.
Résilience (Réf. 120179):  Milieu, temps minimum de doublement de population : 1,4 à 4,4 années (tmax=4; Fec=200).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (14 of 100). 🛈
